Nice work there! I bought the HF spray gun set and am perfectly happy with that. It's a classic "made in Chiney" piece, but works just fine and will likely last beyond my build if I keep it clean. There's a farm / ranch sorta store near me that sells acrylic enamel paints (all your favorite tractor colors) for pretty cheap. I'm going to try some black for the kind of stuff you're playing with now. I'd for sure get some lacquer thinner to clean those bits up and put some primer on first. On the welder, my dad bought the HF $99 flux core machine and it actually works pretty well. I patched up his exhaust and fixed his home-made bumper brackets with it without a hitch. Sheet metal panels might be a little rougher but I'm sure it'd work.
